So magic-sensitive people can't be born on a world without magic, but non-magic people can be born on a magic world? That doesn't seem fair.
All cultural practices have to mathematically align with the high calendar. That can include traditions, belief systems, rituals celebrating small achievements, dress codes, superstitions, even something as private as what you can name your child. Nowadays, calendrical heretics are separated and confined individually so heretical gatherings can't affect local consensus mechanics, but reeducation doesn't involve ritual torture anymore, so that's a step forward.
Every calendrical realm has to convert the peoples they conquer to their calendar, or everything breaks down. Clocks, stardrives, physical laws, lights, energy, medicine... weapons, shields, life-support on stations and toxic planets. There are some ways to make it easier, and the Rahal are always tinkering with the formulas, but all the calendrical realms are locked into their own systems, and that's why we're always at war.
It's hard to understand how that isn't true here. I didn't think there were any untouched worlds anymore. [it happens in dramas, but they're always found through their widening calendrical footprint on the surrounding space. nothing escapes unscathed.]
